Natural Selection.

Grant Allen, in the Fortnightly Re-
view, has given an interesting article
on Love. he does not seem to agree
with Sir George Campbell who would
have husbands and wives selected for
each other on scientific principles. He
thinks that the voice of nature is far
better than the dictum of the Lord
Chancellor or the Royal Society; that it
is not the foolish fancies of youth that
will have to be got rid of but the foolish,
wicked and mischievous interference OF
parents or outsiders, This is quite in
the vein of an address by DR.. Foote, Jr.,
at Metropolitan Hall, on the occasion OF
the first meeting of the Auxiliary Here
ditary association in this city some
years ago. II there is to be interference
1t ought to be wholly on scientific
grounds. and scientific interference
might many times offset to advantage
the meddlesomeness of parents and
friends. The best way would be to
have young people well instructed in the
laws of temperamental adaptation and
in everything appertaining to here iity,
and then leave them to their own
fancies. -Dr. Foote'S Heath Monthly.

Hereditary Influences.

DR.. Mays superintendent of the

says that one-third of the population
(the foreign born), produce two-thirds
of the insane, and vet the proportion of
insane in California is not in excess of
that in many states-about one TO every
$50 inhabitants. The doctor thinks
that the prime causes of insanity are
incompetence and neglect of the laws
of health. at is in the second genera
tons that the evil works its most harm
One-half of the insane, and perhaps
more, owe their arrangement to heredi
tary influences. indicating an ancestral
faint or predisposition. The families
of Incorporate parents furnish the
recruiting grounds for insane asylums.
These unfortunate children, if not
idiots, or epileptics are liable to grow
up with explosive tempers, feeble pow

unstable, self-indulgent, vicious, hysteri-
cal. They form the bulk of what are

TWO LOVES.

The woman he loved while he dreamed OF her
Danced on till tn - stacs grew dim;
Tut alone with Ter art, from the world apart,
Sat the woman who loved him.
The woman he worshiped only smiled
When he poured out his passionate love,
While the other somewhere kissed her treasure
most rare
A book he had touched with his glove.
The woman he loved betrayed his trust,
And he wore the scars through life;
And he cared not, or knew, that the other was
true;
But no man called her wife.
The woman he loved trod festa halls
While they sang his funeral hymn;
But the sad bells tolied ere the year was old
o'er the woman who loved him
